FOR YOU

JLE Academy connects you directly to the history and global impact of Hip-Hop culture through discussion-based lectures and activities.

SMALL WORKSHOPS

This is a discussion-based course that examines the history and complexity of Hip-Hop culture, its diversity, and role in social justice efforts around the world. Elements of Hip-Hop culture (rap, DJ, graffiti, & breakin) and mass media (music, television, and film) will be used as tools to critique what we learn and communicate.

We will examine the influence of Hip-Hop culture on our consciousness for social change and use individual and collective creativity to explore solutions for a more equitable society.
